NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this herald is an unusual "comic book" adaptation of this classic movie! We have only previously auctioned two examples of it, and only one in the last 18 years, and that last example has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned. Condition: very good. Note that some unknown employee of the Schine's Theatre in Piqua, Ohio apparently wanted their employer to mail out these heralds to everyone in Piqua, and they completely hand drew a postcard-like image with pencil on the blank back of this herald, so that the theater owner could use their design and turn this into a mailer! We have no idea if this occurred, but this unknown employee did an excellent job (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
